TS3367 Ipad - facetime phone number

When setting up my new Ipad Air (wi-fi only) from a restore of my Iphone via itunes it is pulling in the wrong phone number for facetime (apparently from another family members iphone) but the restore for apps worked fine. Any way to change the phone#? I already tried erasing the Ipad and doing a fresh backup of the phone and had the same results.
Thanks!

How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

If your wife's cell number was listed on the iPad, you must have set up the iPad using her iCloud account (Apple ID) instead of your own. iCloud automatically populates the phone number to other devices with the same iCloud account, but you should be able to deactivate it.
That number that is assigned to your iPad is just an internal routing and billing number for your carrier. My carrier (AT&T) makes a clear statement in the legal documents that this number is not for phone calls or (SMS or MMS) messages, just for data delivery. For whatever reason, Apple does not allow it to be used in the iMessages system.

When I try to use iMessage on my iPad my phone number doesnt come up, only my email address does. HELP !

When I try to use iMessage on my iPad my phone number doesnt come up, only my email address does. HELP !!!!!!

It is OK to use the same apple id on multiple devices. That is how it was intended to be used. The phone number used must be a number registered on an iPhone. I receive imessages and face time calls on my iPad, iPhone and imac. Sometimes the email addresses and iPhone numbers don't properly register on all device. Logging out and back in on all devices can fix the issue.
Now with the release of ios 8 other compatible Apple devices can use the iPhone over a WiFi network to send and receive vioce calls as well.

Restore to new iPad- iMessage phone number is wrong

I lost my wifes iPad 1 to the band of grey. Purchased anew iPad 4 for me, restored my iPad 2 with the iPad 1 backup .everything worked except that the phone number is not updated. How do I change the number in iMessage?

Hey michaelfromgreenwood,
Thanks for the question. The phone number that appears in iMessage settings is going to depend on an iPhone that is associated with your Apple ID. For more information, see this article:

Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
          - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
          - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
          - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
          - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
4. Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Messaging and facetime phone number issues

I have an iPhone 3 for work, an iPhone 4S that's my personal phone on my Apple ID and a macair and my iPad(I use one ID for all devices) I don't use facetime on the iphone3 but I do have message sync turned on. The iPhone 3 did have phone my work and personal cell associated. But it just updated and now only recognizes my work number.
I have checked my Apple ID. I only have personal number on it which is the phone number associated with the iPhone 4S. None on my other devices recognizes the iphone4 number as the number to use for messaging and facetime.
I do not want my computer or iPad to reference my work phone number but I can't find a way to get the settings to update any ideas?

Never mind. I finally got it to work. For those with similar issue. Turn off messaging and facetime on all devices. Then turn back on for all devices with iPad being last to turn on.

How to locate my iPad's phone number

I bought a WiFi-3G iPad here in Australia when they first came out and promptly bought a 12-month data plan from Vodafone. This plan is nearing its renewal period now and I need the phone number to purchase an extension. Unfortunately, it's been so long that I can no longer find the packaging that the micro-sim card came with and so I don't know the phone number, which is required in order to purchase the renewal.
Where can I locate the phone number? Under Settings>General>About, there is a lot of useful information but for 'Cellular Data Number' is states 'Unknown'.

Hello guys I'm with the same problem trying to find out my sim card phone number on my iPad and neither of the suggestions above showed me the number. I'm I n Brazil
the only reason I'm searching for this info is that when trying to log in at the WAZE app it now asks for the cell phone number so they can send you a text message with a code to verify your account. Before they would allow us to log in using our account user id
my iPhone works as it received the code via text message and I want to be logged on my iPad using th same account , just the way I used to on the previous WAZE versions

Changing the FaceTime phone number

I've read many of the threads on this board containing this question, and none of them seem to get a good answer. So I'm going to try again:
I have a new iPhone with a different phone number than my previous iPhone. I no longer own the previous phone number. When I set up my iCloud account in my new iPhone, it shows my old phone number associated with FaceTime. I assume that's because that phone number is associated with my iCloud account. Obviously I don't want my old number associated with iCloud, FaceTime, or anything else i... Does anyone here know how to change this? I've tried navigating through everything I can think of within iCloud and FaceTime and can't find anywhere that offers the option to change the number.
Thank you!

To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.

I cannot receive imessages on ipad through phone number, only email? I have read forums, confirmed number through manageyour account, deleted from iPad, restartedand entered again, there must be some quirk to why this is occurring.

Please help, so frustrating!

Did you turn off messages on your iPhone AND your iPad and then start all over again, turning on messages on the iPhone first? That's usually how the phone number becomes accessible in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at ....

How to change IMessage and FaceTime phone number on Macbook Air?

So I've just made the switch over to Apple computers from my forever relationship with Windows. I discovered that I can use IMessage and Factime on here but it links to not my Iphone, but to my father's whose is supposed to be on another itunes account but I'm not really sure. Sometimes IMessage in my Macbook will come across as my number, others my Dad's. My Iphone is on the itunes account that my Macbook is on but how do I make it so that the Imessage and Facetime go ONLY through MY phone? Sorry if this is confusing I'm not really sure what I should clarify. Thanks in advance!

The following may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538

Facetime phone number unknown

I have two phone numbers showing up that I can be reached at. The other is totally unknown, and this happened when I changed to the new iphone5.
I don't know how to get rid of the unknown number. I already restored the iphone settings, and changed the SIM card. Please help

If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it. Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account. Note: The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

IPad 2 stopped receiving iMessages sent to my phone number

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S. When I got the iPad, I was able to sync it with my iPhone just fine. It was sending and receiving iMessages that were directed to my iPhone phone number, and the messages on the two devices were syncing perfectly, all the time.
Then about a week ago, my iPad stopped receiving iMessages that were sent to my iPhone. When I look at the iMessage settings on the iPad, my phone number is no longer listed under the "send and receive" area.
The only troubleshooting I have tried so far is turning iMessage off and then back on on the iPad, and rebooting it. That hasn't worked...any other suggestions?

I would sign out of iMessage on your iPad and make sure its signed back in with the same apple id that you are using on your iPhone, if still does not show on iPad try doing the same steps on the iPhone. Also this article should give you a few other steps in troubleshooting iMessage http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
